Optimal Triggers

Sometimes, aggregate data leads to worrisome trends for minds that like to look at the larger picture. Even if Ebola wipes out a few million, and given my poverty, age, proximity to West Africans, I do not count myself invulnerable to the hemorrhagic fever out of the disappearing bush, granted, it will not wipe out civilization, but it is putting pressure on objects developed for travel, and airline industry stocks have dropped, cruise vessels are being turned away from ports, cars in Texas have to be sterilized according to guidelines developed by science fiction control freaks, but look beneath the surface at AP wire service items of late: since the announcement of Sarah Goldberg's earlier this month, a troubling cluster seems to have bobbled up in the pond. After Sarah came Jan Hook at 57, Elizabeth Pena at 55, then Misty Upham's suicide, and although she is not deceased, Amanda Bynes had her major depressive episode on twitter, and now an American Idol star dies from cancer at 32, not to mention Brittany Maynard is killing herself, at the age of 29, due to a brain tumor. She has my blessing, and something of my envy, because a woman as disabled as I, still relatively stable, affirms that a basic life of torture for my greater good hasn't been worth it. I've had many enforcers like Trudy Richardson controlling my life and limb-- not worth the fear and social anxiety they inspire, despite the fact that I do want to live, but on my terms, not those of barbaric state medical models. But look at the curve here, which as of 10/25 includes the anchor Terry Keenan.

Joan Rivers death was sad, perhaps (I never really found her improvisation revolutionary, for me Roseanne Barr had more of an impact) but it was equally due to her stupid vanity. She was 81, enough with the surgeries already. Her age fit the longevity curve that is bankrupting the social security system, however, as opposed to the cluster which seems to have bumped up obituary writing.

Our systems, however complex they are, appear to be in crisis on a global scale. Bio diversity is at its most basic level, in the hands of any lunatic zoologists you might care to name, and so on. Without viable ecosystems, how will any of us survive at peak performance? The only way to reverse it before it is too late, if it isn't already, is what I've advocated all along, a global rational euthanasia policy.

Yes, it is difficult, smacks of eugenics, may lead to corruption and certainly abuse by the wealthy, except for billionaire liberals like Warren Buffett, as he is too old, too ill, for his dynastic wealth to matter, at this point-- but we have to start finding wise methods to minimize procreation and really, begin to let people die. Once we hit 9 billion, I certainly don't know where I'll be, but human husbandry will begin to be seriously examined; I am not an advocate for China's one child policy and never was. That type of state control will eventually destroy the country-- but evolution seems to be indicating human pressure is reaching limits beyond which lies disastrous consequences in the wings. We have to start applying ourselves to a healthy population cull, even in purely conservationist terms.

I did a bad thing I am not going to discuss just yet, but it signifies the depth of my hatred for state model ineptitude which imposes itself on my existence.
